Abstract: Ancistrogaster burri Kirby, 1903 nomen dubium, stat. nov. Ancistrogaster burri Kirby 1903: 68 [nomen novum, non-existent homonymy A. luctuosa, Stål 1855] [Mexico and Central America]. Kirby 1904: 36 [Part Mexico and Central America]. Kirby 1904 36 [part Mexico to Panama]. Reichardt, 1971a: 176. Steinmann 1989b: 651 [Mexico to Panama, and Brazil]. Ancistrogaster (?) burri Steinmann 1993: 163 [Mexico]. Notes. Bormans (1883) mistakenly identified material from Mexico as Ancistrogaster luctuosus Stal 1855, noticing differences between what was described by Stål (1855) from Brazil and two males from Mexico, but never described a new species. Kirby (1903) assumed that Bormans (1883) described a new homonymous species and replaced it with the specific epithet burri. We consider that the replacement by homonymy of Kirby (1903) is not needed, and thus, consider Ancistrogaster burri Kirby 1903 as a nomen dubium stat. nov. The record of two males from Mexico A. luctuosus [ID error] by Bormans (1883) corresponds to Ancistrogaster spinax.
